California Preschool Learning Foundations

The California Preschool Learning Foundations are a set of guidelines that outline what young children should know and be able to do at different stages of early development. They focus on areas like social-emotional skills, language and literacy, approaches to learning, as well as health and physical development. These foundations help educators create learning environments that support children's growth and prepare them for kindergarten by providing a clear framework for observing, planning, and assessing their progress in a developmentally appropriate way.
